Does anyone have a complaint about it running to loud? Coil whine? How about the temps? Answers regarding all these concerns would be nice, thanks.

I run two of these and my computer is actually very quiet unless I'm running triple screen high Def gaming. Even then it is not loud, and no coil whine whatsoever. The temperature is also not an issue. The fans are robust and not loud.

I find the temperatures to be satisfactory, and honestly this is a very quiet graphics card. But honestly if you're looking for complete silence, I would watercool anyways. But, so far , I have no problems with my graphics card.

Mine does have coil whine on games where VSync is not turned on because it is pushing a ton of frames per second in games that are not as graphic intensive. Playing the Witcher 2 with every setting disabled I get over 96 frames, but there is no coil whine because it is around 100 FPS. The fans are very quiet and mine rarely gets above 70C so you won't hear the fans very often.

i just installed it yesterday and i do get a slight whistling noise. afe called me back and said to open up the crank case line a little more which is the cause of it, so i'll post back if that ends up resolving it. it's a shame though that customers have to do this to make an unnecessary noise go away.

I have had this a few months now. I run it full 2ohms, all four F & R channels on 2ohmm Infinity Kappa's, and the sub channel 2ohm on a Xtant X1244. If I rail on this set up for about 45+ min straight, it gets hot. I ended up adding an 8" axial flow fan to my set up, blowing across the amp, and now it only gets warm to touch after wanging on it for hours at a time ....

You're definitely right! I think the chip outputs too much heat. What I did is undervolted the cpu from the BIOS and also disabled the AMD Turbo Technology, and now it's so much cooler and quieter. Temp on idle around 30-35 load 50-55. Lowest degree was 25. That's insane with the stock fan!

Mine is working fine. I only intermittently use the high heat setting since it gets so hot, I have to switch to a lower setting, or cool occasionally. But, so far, so good! No complaints here.

I've got a Corsair 520-HX comming with the 8600GTS - should have added that to the earlier post. The ONLY good thing about the stock PSU is that it's quiet. I haven't had too much time to mess with it - had shoulder surgery a few days before I received it.

I connected mine to the molex connector and set the speed to medium (using the switch on the fan). The high speed was a little too loud for me. At medium, I can barely hear the fan.If you are concerned about heat, then download an application (like hw monitor), so you can keep tabs on the hardware temps. If you are concerned about noise, then set the fan to low/medium. With my fan set to medium, I don't have any issues with heat, but every case/hardware configuration is different.

I installed it with no problems about a month ago. I used the cpu fan that came with it and have had no issues at all. When I first turned on the system everything boot up great and configuration was a breeze.

Its a high frequency PWM (15khz), so not audible in my setup. Im using it in a small motor so I cant hear any whine. Im not sure if this would be the case on a larger motor under stress.

Mine starts great, can't complain at all. My first one had problems with the inverter and they sent me a new one, no problems since.

Mine ran "hard" for the first few hrs--maybe the 1st day?? But it was hot-summertime. If I change the temp/open the door it ramps up for a few min but otherwise very quiet. I'd say you might have a little issue. (You may want to check the venting space, make sure it has enough space behind/around to vent. I only say this cuz I helped kill another cooler w/ a lack of vent space.) Good luck w/ it!

It can run pretty hot, but I've never had any performance issues from overheating. If you're really that worried about it, buy a cheap cooling pad. Mine cools it down easily even while gaming.

Honestly if you have a fan controller it doesn't really matter sound wise, more or less the same but with different fans. I changed my fans out on my h100i to SP fans(loud) and I have them running slow and quiet. Temps... Meh not an issue at 4.5Ghz X99 Haswell-e ...

Mine runs constantly. Was surprised at how quiet it was. Has a slight change in speed when fuel bowls are full. No high pitch whine like some electric pumps. Reminds me of an aquarium aerator,slow and steady.

Hi sorry to hear about the issue. If you have tried everything with no luck, would suggest swapping it out for another. 1 of 3 I purchased we ended up returning. Now, we got ours at a local store so I didn't have to hassle with repackaging/shipping. My sister bought one and had issues as well. I commented on the table top version of this fan that unfortunately the manufacturer is not very consistent, or that QA is lacking. Despite the little issue i had, I am very very satisfied with my purchases. Good luck and I hope you get to enjoy your fan soon!

Mine isn't silent, but isn't horrible. Sounds like an issue to bring up with manufacturer. They might replace the unit.

its decent for it. its got integrated graphics which kinda sucks, but itll play things like skyrim on low settings, if you want to use that as a benchmark. i havent noticed any overheating problem. i personally use it for gaming as im a twitch streamer and this is my main rig atm.i havent really tried newer games on it as much. it has slowdown with dolphin (gamecube/wii emulator) but runs things like Skullgirls no problem.
